A Very Merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

'Tis just weeks before Christmas, and here at Cheltenham Festivals we're beginning to feel distinctly, well, Festive! To celebrate this jolliest of seasons we asked the stars of this year's Literature Festival to share with us a special Christmas Memory.

Every day of advent we'll be unwrapping a different Christmas Memory for your delight and delectation. And as an extra-special treat, every Festive-Friday we'll be hearing from our Festival Directors and giving away Festive-al prizes galore!

So sit back, grab a mince pie and unwrap a very special Festive-al memory...

12th December: A very literary Christmas...

Today's prize is a special treat for all lovers of award-winning literature - a signed hard-back copy of The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson.

This Man Booker prize-winning novel has quickly become a modern classic and Howard Jacobson's humour, talent and wit have made him a real Cheltenham favourite. This is the perfect gift for any literary aficionado, especially when accompanied by a festival goody bag....


To be in with a chance of winning just identify today's mystery Festive-al star.

Today’s mystery star is another award-winning writer who is a real Cheltenham favourite. We asked him what it is like to see your novel adapted for the stage and screen, press play below to hear his answer…

UPDATE: the mystery festive-al star was... Sebastian Faulks! See the full interview from Literature 2011 here:
